A block of mass 200g is oscillating on the end of a horizontal spring of spring constant 100 N/m and natural length 12 cm. When

the spring is stretched to a length of 14 cm, what is the acceleration of the block? [F=ma=kx]

In order to determine the acceleration of the block, use the following formula:

F=ma

Moreover, remind that for an object attached to a spring the magnitude of the force acting over a mass is given by:

F=kx

Then, you have:

ma=kx

by solving for a, you obtain:

a=\frac{kx}{m}

In this case, you have:

k: spring constant = 100N/m

m: mass of the block = 200g = 0.2kg

x: distance related to the equilibrium position = 14cm - 12cm = 2cm = 0.02m

Replace the previous values of the parameters into the expression for a:

a=\frac{(\frac{100N}{m})(0.02m)}{0.2\operatorname{kg}}=10\frac{m}{s^2}

Hence, the acceleration of the block is 10 m/s^2

Alborosie

Answer:

12 m

Explanation:

The object is in uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance covered can be found using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For this problem,

g=24 m/s^2

and

u = 0, since we are considering the first second of motion

So, substituting t = 1 s, we find

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(24)(1)^2=12 m

Magnet A has twice the magnetic field strength of magnet B and pulls on magnet B with a force of 100 N. The amount of force that
son4ous [18]

The force exerted by the magnetic in terms of the magnetic field is,

F\propto B

Where B is the magnetic fied strength and F is the force.

Thus, if the magnetic A has twice magnetic field strength than the magnet B,

Then,

B_A=2B_B

Thus, the force exerted by the magnet B is,

\begin{gathered} F_B\propto B_B \\ F_B\propto\frac{B_A}{2} \\ F_B=\frac{F_A}{2} \\ F_B=\frac{100}{2} \\ F_B=50\text{ N} \end{gathered}

Thus, the force exerted by the magnet B on magnet A is 50 N.

The force exerted by the magnet A exerts on the magnet B is exactly 100 N as given.

Hence, the option B is the correct answer.

When a force is acting at axis of rotation,why torque is zero?
Vikki [24]

Explanation:

see, torque=force × perpendicular distance

...that perpendicular distance is between axis of rotation and the point where force acts... so in above's case perpendicular distance is zero... so the torque is zero!

Which of the following terms is best described as the number of waves that pass a point in one second? A) wave speed B) period C
ehidna [41]

The term that best describes how many waves that pass? It's frequency because how many waves are passed by a given point or time is called the waves frequency. I hope this helped you out on your assignment.
